It sounds like you've run into a bug that was fixed in grep 2.18
(2014-02-20). Please try grep 3.1, the current version. If that doesn't
work, it'd be helpful if you could give us a reproducible test case.
Here's how I tried (and failed) to reproduce the problem on Fedora 27
x86-64, which has grep 3.1:
$ shuf -i 1-20000000 >rawindex
$ ls -l rawindex
-rw-r--r--. 1 eggert eggert 168888897 Apr 6 12:30 rawindex
$ time grep outgoing.*harris.*dcraw rawindex

$ time grep -i outgoing.*harris.*dcraw rawindex

$ time grep
